Babe Ruth 40 BR bat question.

[pencil1974]

So I'm a bit upset right now. I just received in the mail today from JSA what I thought was going to be my LOA as they said it was good at the Tampa show and just had to wait for the LOA to come in aprox 3 weeks. Nope, I got a $200 credit as it came back as inconclusive. So much for taking my photo and saying it was good along with the best piece they've seen this year, etc..

Anyway going to sell it on the bay as I don't want to keep it at this point. I don't know if I can pass the credit along to someone else but I have no use for it after this experience I'm not too high on JSA right now. Very disappointed but wanted you all to know.

Wow! Sorry to hear that bro. These grading companies are so inconsistent. I had a issue similar on a Ruth signed photo. Makes me not even want to buy autographs from either company. Have you tried sending it to psa? (Not like theyre much better) but you never know

Hey thanks Joey! Yeah it was a big kick in the nuts to say the least. Like I said especially after I was told it was good when I was in Tampa during an on-site authentication along with getting my photo taken with it for Facebook. Then to have that letter show up. I even called them and said what the hell? And got the run around of it was split right down the middle, so we error on the side of caution. What gets me is the three authenticators that saw it in person said yes and thats what I left with. Even after double checking, you're sure it's good right? Yes, great piece.

So no I'm done, I'm going to list it in the next few weeks and let it go for what ever it goes for and let the next person send it to PSA or JSA again if they are so inclined. I'll just stick with cards which I know a bit better I guess.

I'm sorry I just saw this. But the words Fellows, Newark, Club, and Sincerely were definitely not penned in Ruth's hand. I didn't even have to get to the actual autograph. So sorry man. Hopefully you can get your money back!

Are you the one selling it on eBay? If so shouldn't the description mention how it failed JSA??

[Bpm0014]

Wow, that's really shady..... Listed at $29,999.00 for a store model, fake/fraud/forged, autographed bat.

I don't know who is selling it on eBay, but it may not be Brad, it may the person he sold it to.
